Mastering Puppet

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Puppet code words in text, module names, folder names, filenames, dummy URLs, and user input are shown as follows: "The file /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt contains a list of the classes applied to the machine."

A block of code is set as follows:

class base {
  file {'one':
    path   => '/tmp/one',
    ensure => 'directory',
  }
  file {"two":
    path   => "/tmp/one$one",
    ensure => 'file',
  }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

service {'nginx':
  require => Package['nginx'], ensure => true, ...
